cern Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Is it only 100% computer controlled drums on this EP?I hope the drums are experimental stuff cuz we all know that Richard can fuck with the musical rythm and still got it to sound fresh!But I also wish (someone did mention it here) that is going to be that classic Aphex Twin darkness melodic haunting stuff.. like on Analord! Damn there are soo many things he can do with his machines. Anyway, for us fans we couldnt have a better start on this year and Im really thankfull.Thank you Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Richard I hope for the same :) That metz track is sounding pretty acoustic and is definitely in line with what you are saying (but with some.. dare I say swagger?) If any of these tracks sound like it, I'll be pretty happy. (Also I appreciate the positive vibe of your posts. woo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stock Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 ^ lol I never really liked the "dark" Aphex stuff so I hope that release will still be kind of accessible. I'd love to hear Aphex doing some smooth-jazz. Computer Controlled Smooth Jazz obv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremedevice Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 i think i remember reading he uses a disklavier piano, and a lot of track titles have "disk" in them. So maybe there is more piano in this Ep. Or maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Well, considering two of the tracks have 'piano' in the titles, and others refer to 'prep' which I assume is prepared piano, I'd say there would be some piano on this release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheladrix Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The only thing that kinda scares me about this release is it's experimental nature... while exciting, it may result in music I just don't want to or worse, can't listen to. I can respect Richard for wanting to try something experimental, though. That, and the fact it has the same white on black packaging like the Smojphace EP had... *shudders* The piano based stuff on drukqs was often less experimental and more melodic than the electronic tracks. And aisatsana was very dreamy. This record might be happier than it seems from the cover. He was saying in the noyzelab interview that people need to make positive uplifting music too. You know to, um . . . cheer us up about the looming apocalypse that will destroy everything we know. As for Smojphace, I never listen to it, although I've still got it. At least those weird noise tracks are way less scary than that track on drukqs with people screaming. I kinda wish that Men label had put out more records, I bet they would have been nuts.

Guest bitroast Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 im more wary of the length of the thing. main reason i'm hanging out for a part 1 (assuming pt2 means part 2) is just to have some extra material to sink into :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petina Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 those wary of the quality of this release, keep in mind it is an 'aphex twin' release and not an 'afx' release; it's going to be just as polished and nice as we'd expect also, i noticed you can hear him using the piano in that one track he played at metz which is likely going to be on this EP: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeAreOceans Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Oh, Bloc 2011, I seem to remember my pasty face was projected on the screens when they turned the ASCII filter over the camera feeds off :) Am I the only one who is getting a bit Ghost In The Shell soundtrack vibes from all these percussion tracks? Especially that Wroclaw track psn posted a couple of pages back. Yes, me too, probably the "chime" sounds. It reminds me a bit of that "Ghost in the Shell" track that was accredited to Aphex Twin that floated around old file sharing clients like Limewire and Kazaa. Shame chime noises as the OST and all that, but not actually RDJ's work :) I do seem to remember reading he won some magazine competition by submitting a track made up entirely of GitS samples, not sure how true that one is. GitS OST is gorgeous though, I'd be very happy if it has a similar vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the magazine competition: that was a Future Music competition to remix Sci Fi Staircase, a track originally by Luke Vibert. He entered it under the name Tahnaiya Russel, look it up (called SciRem). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
